| Monday, July 15— This from Mark the Pin in Cleveland: “Just saw a Browns conference with John Dorsey and Freddie Kitchens showing Kitchens’ 1st meeting as a head coach. I like it with both those guys at the top. I have that feeling once again as a kid taking the bus down to the Municipal Stadium to sell programs, while making a few extra bucks and watching the games gratis (when we were the best team in the league with Jim Brown) that I will be watching the best once again this season. Only now every time when I pass my desk there is a copy of the Playbook Football Preview Guide magazine with Baker Mayfield staring right at me. They lack Jimmy Brown on the team, but I am in … all in with that good feeling in my gut about the Browns this season.” Editor’s note: Mark the Pin and I are lifelong best friends. We sold scorecards together at the Browns and Indians games at the stadium as kids growing up together in Cleveland. MLB History Book Cincinnati: Castillo 6-1 $ in July (4-0 L4) … Atlanta: Fried 4-0 $ vs. NL Central this season … Tampa Bay: Snell 2-8 $ career at Yankee Stadium, NYY: 7-1 Mondays this season … Kansas City: 1-7 Mondays this season … SFG: Pomeranz 0-5 $ July. Grinding Out The Profits Not only is St. Louis 6-1 on Mondays this season, Cardinals hurler Miles Mikolas sports a 2.48 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP at home as opposed to a 7.68 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP away this season. On the flip side, Pittsburgh’s Joe Musgrove is 0-3 in his career team-starts at Busch Stadium. You know the deal. |
